Tariffs, Defense, and National Security

This week on Face the Nation, President Trump begins the next phase of his agenda with a key staff shakeup. Mike Waltz is out as National Security Adviser, and Secretary Marco Rubio is in, adding another job to his growing list of responsibilities. With Trump's push for a nuclear deal with Iran and an end to Russia's war in Ukraine, we'll ask Republican Mike Turner about the impact of the shuffle. We'll also get insights from one of Trump's national security advisers in his first term, retired Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster. Plus, Illinois Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth will join us with an update on the Armed Services Committee's bipartisan request for a probe into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's conduct. As the U.S. and Ukraine finalize their new economic deal, what does that mean for the security relationship between the two countries? We'll get the latest and more from Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova. And finally, as President Trump seeks to end federal funding to public broadcasting, we'll ask NPR CEO Katherine Maher and PBS CEO Paula Kerger about the impact and how they plan to fight back.
